A Servant's Heart

^{James 1:9} Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
 
There are marches through the centuries, the martyrs of the cross,
  all those who chose to follow Christ regardless of the cost.
And though their journey led them through the shadowlands of death,
  the song of their commitment they rehearsed with every breath.
Uncertain days now echo back, that strong and urgent strain,
  to count the cost, take up the cross and join in the refrain.

I will serve the Lord, I will serve the Lord my God.
And if God should chose, that my life I lose,
Though my foe may slay me, I will serve the Lord.

For should our journey lead us through the shadowlands of death,
  may this be our heart’s resolve as long as we have breath.
The honor and the privilege ours, with wounds we suffer by His side
  and to the glory of the Lord, those sacred scars we wear with pride.

I will serve the Lord, I will serve the Lord my God.
And if God should chose, that my life I lose,
Though my foe may slay me, I will serve the Lord.

Help me to never forget, Lord,  that life apart from You has no meaning . . . without You life is like a leaf chasing after the wind.  Only God can satisfy the heart's desire.

Were You There?

^{Mark 15:39} And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God".

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh were you there when they crucified my Lord?
(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)
Tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?
(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)
Tremble
Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)
Tremble
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Well, were you there when the stone was rolled away?
Were you there when the stone was rolled away?
(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)
Tremble
Were you there when the stone was rolled away?
